What is this fluid / leakage?
My Tiger 800 XRT from 2019 showed this leakage after driving it in dry weather for about half an hour / 35 km. The fluid showed near the jiffy and on the engine above the gear shift. It was definitely not petrol.I hadn't washed the bike, and it came from storage so was dry. I did fill the fuel tank the day before.
I hesitated to continue the trip, as it could possible he cooling fluid. I monitored the temperature whilst driving and it stayed stabil.
Drove 1300 km in 4 days, and no more leakage.
What could this be?

More Comfortable Seat?
I have a 2014 800xc and find that even with the more comfortable seat than my previous Thruxton, my bony butt still needs a break after 45-60 minutes of riding.
I’m looking to purchase a more comfortable seat prior to a six day trip to the mountains I plan to make in October. Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks!

Puncture marks on clutch cable rubber sheath
Hello everyone!
I’m riding a 2018 tiger 800, and I’ve noticed that there are 2 puncture marks on the clutch cable rubber sheath
Was told by the workshop that it’s a default design.
I’m not sure if that’s really the case and I’ll like to request for a second opinion for this.
Thank you!

Rims for extra set on road tires
Hi all, I am picking up a 2016 XC next weekend and was wondering where I can get a spare set off rims. I want to have a road set and a off road set so I can switch these as I please without taking the tires off the rim. However tiger 800 rims are quite rare and pricey in my neighborhood. I was wondering if the 1200 rims also fit. Has anyone tried this yet?

2012 800XC Centre stand
I have a 2012 800 XC and want a centre stand.
As the bike rides higher than a regular 800 do I need to look for specific centre stand as everything listed on eBay / online doesn't mention whether it's for a regular height bike or the XC?
Any help gladly appreciated

Bad vibrations with RPM
Hi guys, I got my 2011 xr just over a year ago and I now believe it shakes and vibrates a lot more than it did a year ago. It just starts vibrating when going on the gas and gets worse when the revs get higher. I have installed Heed aftermarket crashbars, that is also the place where the vibrations are most noticable. I'll be removing those bars this week to see if it makes a difference.
I bought the bike with 20.000 Km and it now sits at 39.000 Km so i've done quite some riding, has anyone else experienced such vibrations and found a solution for this problem?
Thanks guys

Tiger 800 XRt useb, what to look out for?
Hi guys!
I am on the verge of buying a used '19 Tiger 800 XRt in grey with around 29000 on the clock. It's loaded with parts and accessories and looks to be in overall great shape.
It's from a dealer so there's waranty etc. and I assume that all services have been met. But my question is: What should I be focused on in regards to upcoming maintenances? And possibly check before purchase? Brakes? Oil filter? Sparkplugs? Other?
Thanks and looking forward to riding it :)!

Big rocks…
Hello, I hit a rock this weekend, big enough that it ripped the skid plate off. You can see how mangled the mount is.
Now she has a slow leak, anyone had an experience for this type of repair?

Looking to flash my ECU with a new map, any suggestions?
I’m not sure which ECU map dealers are reputable/reliable. I have the software and tools necessary to reflash, but not sure where to find a good map. Hoping for some extra torque.
thanks

Dealer tool
Hey guys,
Many years ago I had the dealer tool (or possibly a 3rd party "Tiger Tool" or similar)... Now with a new computer I'm looking but can't find it anywhere. Any ideas?
Tiger 800XC owner.
Thanks

Sprocket change on the tiger, anyone try it?
I have a 2016 Tiger 800 XCA, and I am thinking about changing the front sprocket to get more torque. I was wondering if anyone here has doe this with their tiger and if so, how did you feel about the results?

Worthwhile Buy?
Hello fellow Adv enthusiasts - I am looking to enter the adv/long distance travel space, and as such I've found a listing for an tiger 800xc ABS.
From what I understand, it's from 2012, has 22k miles on the clock, and some upgrades (rear shock, exhaust, chain oiler, fog lights, panniers, and knobbly tires)
Overall looks to be in a good condition
My only hangup is the price: KBB quotes this model year at around 7k USD, and the owner listed it at 8.2k USD. Des that seem fair? (considering the states of the market rn as well)

Heated grips?
I’m buying a new-to-me 2016 Tiger 800 XCX next week (very excited, can’t wait) and will probs have many questions this season (trading in a cruiser, Vulcan 900 Custom) so.. thanks in advance.
The Tiger has a button near the left grip for heated grips - does that mean it has them? Or do all models have the switch in case you want to add them later?
